We broke down and got a juicer. We've always wanted one, and we finally did it. Rather than buy the really nice kenpo juicer we wanted, or the one at the health food store where Lindsay (readers,meet my Wife, Lindsay. Lindsay, blog readers.)works. We got the $50 juiceman jr., the one formerly sponsored by Jay Kordich, not spokeswommynned by Martina Navratilova. I'm sure i forgot a few consonants there. Google it.
Yeah, so I have not yet stumbled across a combination of juices that I do not like. Beet juice congeals slightly, and it's kinda gross, but ain't no biggie. Lindsay doesn't like the flavour or texture of some juices, and Selah (readers, 2 yr old daughter Selah, Selah, readers) won't drink anything other than apple.
Juicing has taught me a few things
1)I didn't know I could consume that high a volume of ginger and live
2)Carrots are kind of oily.
3)Celery is deceptively juicy.
4)Shredding a lime (including peel) and whirring the pulp to extract the fluids (and oils in said peel) it an intense smell.
5) *gross out alert* Beet juice turns feces a dark maroon that dyes all the toilet water when you flush. Makes sense, since shredded beets were long used as food colouring. If we ever get around to making that red velvet cake, we'll juice rather than shred the beets.
